  • EXCLUSIVE: Carlsson Mercedes-Benz CK35 Enhanced by Overdrive

    Carlsson-Mercedes-Benz-CK35-by-Overdrive-THUMBAs a basis for the exceptional Carlsson Mercedes-Benz CK35 served the 2012 ML350 BlueTec model which in general is a very impressive vehicle. However, the tuners from the Bulgarian company Overdrive managed to make it even more exclusive by adding to the Carlsson modification its magical touch.

    Basically, what they have done here is to add a magnifier in each headlight. When the latter is in regime “daylight” the magnifiers send out red beam. In addition, the tuning specialists have also mounted LED daylight running lights in the headlights.

    Next, the original door handles and the rearview-mirrors were repainted in Black Piano Varnish. On the sunshades was embroidered “Carlsson” and for easier control, to this Mercedes-Benz was added a rear-view camera.

    Nevertheless, let’s not forget that all of this is an additional tuning over the original one done by Carlsson. Its exterior package includes the following: addition for the front bumper with two chrome grills, additional headlights for fog and LED daylight running lights mounted in the bumper, central chrome grille with “Carlsson” badge, side doorsteps, addition for the rear bumper with diffusor, end muffler on the exhaust system with two tips.

    At last but not least, to the ML350 was added also a power enhancement via ECU Programming performed by Kleemann. After it, the horsepower of this SUV was increased up to 320 (235 lb-ft) in comparison to the original 245 hp (180 lb-ft).

  • MINI Expands its All-Wheel-Drive Range

    MINI-Cooper-D-Paceman-THUMBMINI has just announced that it is going to expand its all-wheel-drive range (ALL4) of vehicles thus delivering more driving fun, focused experience and agile handling. In March the choice of additional models with ALL4.

    That’s when the MINI Paceman will be launched featuring the ALL4 as a standard or an option. The number of models with this technology will increase up to eight. The first Sports Activity Coupé in the premium compact segment sees ALL4 optionally teaming up with the diesel engines in the Cooper SD Paceman (105 kW/143 hp) and Cooper D Paceman (82 kW/112 hp), as well as the petrol unit under the bonnet of the Cooper S Paceman (135 kW/184 hp).

    In addition, MINI John Cooper Works Paceman will also be equipped with the all-wheel-drive system as standard. The model generates 160 kW/218 hp and has as standard with a six-speed manual gearbox. Automatic transmission comes as an option.

    As a matter of fact, ALL4 delivers boost to traction, directional stability and agility through corners. In addition, the ALL4 will be featured in the Countryman, Cooper S Countryman, Cooper SD Countryman and Cooper D Countryman as an option. On the other hand as a standard it will be included in the MINI John Cooper Works Countryman.

    To go further into details, the all-wheel-drive system utilizes an electromagnetic centre differential to distribute drive seamlessly between the front and rear axles. In normal driving the system diverts up to 50 per cent of the engine’s power to the rear wheels, rising to 100 per cent in extreme conditions.

    ALL4’s control electronics are integrated directly into the DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) management unit, enabling drive to be channelled through the wheels as required in a matter of milliseconds.

    In addition it also optimizes the fuel economy. It also utilizes the data collected by DSC to tweak the power split pre-emptively and to effect through dynamically taken corners. The system feeds a higher proportion of the engine’s power to the rear wheels to make turn-in as precise as possible.

    All of the models which will feature the ALL4, will also include the DSC system with DTC (Dynamic Traction Control) mode. The latter allows controlled slip through the driven wheels to ease moving off on loose sand or deep snow. What is more, those models will also have a very specific chassis set-up, which includes an inner vibration damper and delivers great acoustic and dynamic comfort.

    In addition, the famous Juke Nismo will give a glimpse of the new strategy of the brand. Juke Nismo will be powered by a 1.6-litre direct injection turbocharged four-cylinder engine based on the 16GT FOUR Type V. The unit was precisely tuned in order to provide great driving experience. The production model that will be on display represents new brand strategy and focuses on creating premium high-performance sports vehicles.

    Nissan will also offer the visitors of the show the opportunity to connect with the vehicles through its Virtual Showroom 3D Hologram display. The latter will now feature an application of a high-definition holographic video projection system utilized to make the illusion of three-dimensional moving images.

    The system is also extremely interactive, because it allows people to interact with virtual vehicles when performing physical gestures. I details, the Nissan car will be something called “Pepper’s Ghost” – an illusionary technique traditionally used in theatre, similar to a transparent 3D hologram.

  • 2014 Kia Sorento – More Refined and Impressive Than Ever

    The 2014 Sorento will arrive to market as no mere refresh or facelift, boasting instead an all-new chassis, a powerful new Gasoline Direct Injected (GDI) V6 engine, a substantially restyled interior, a next-generation infotainment system and Kia’s first-ever blind spot detection system. The CUV is expected to hit the market in the first quarter of this year.
    “The new Sorento improves heavily on its already successful crossover formula with significant enhancements across the board to chassis, powertrain, technology, amenities and design,” commented Michael Sprague, executive vice president, marketing and communications, KMA.

    “Now more refined and impressive than ever, the Sorento advances people-moving and family transportation to new levels of sophistication.” , he added.

    The engine range will now include a new 3.3 liter GDI V6 with 290HP (213 kW) at 6,400RPM and 340Nm (252 lb-ft) at 5,200RPM. It’s available optionally on the LX, while residing as standard equipment in the LX V6, EX V6, SX and SX Limited.

    Power is routed to either the front wheels or, optionally, to all four using an enhanced Torque On Demand all-wheel drive system that seamlessly directs power to the tire with the most traction and now includes the benefit of Torque Vectoring Cornering Control (TVCC) that aids stability under certain driving conditions.

    The smaller 2.4-liter GDI four-cylinder replaces the previously standard 2.4-liter MPI 4-cylinder. The new 4-cylinder GDI has 191HP (140 kW) at 6,300RPM and 244Nm (181 lb-ft) at 4,250RPM.

    2014 Kia Sorento SX Limited is destined for market within the second quarter of 2013.  With the success of the Optima SX Limited launched earlier this year, offering a similar appearance package on the Sorento was a logical follow-up.

    Offered only in Ebony Black, Snow White Pearl or Titanium Silver, the SX Limited is set apart visually from the Sorento SX by unique self-leveling Xenon HID head lights, exclusive 19-inch chrome wheels and sporty red painted brake calipers.  Exclusive SX-L badges adorn the exterior to complete the look.

    Inside, unique and luxurious Nappa leather trimmed seats, a wood-trimmed, heated steering wheel, and heated rear seats are all standard.  The exclusive soft-touch head liner and pillar accents make the Sorento SX Limited an inviting respite from the stress and strain of urban existence.
